You are. I've never seen shivas sleepga landing on undead. ^_^

[dasva]

I'm pretty sure it can now after the immunobreak update since sleep spell does now. But only after an immunobreak or with stymie. And landing resets the immunobreak and can only get 10 per mob that I've seen. Nms may be different

[dasva]

fuck all of you why aren't we talking about amorphstrosity

Because I haven't finished capping aquans yet!!! How will I 99 them all if SE puts them out faster than I can level them!?! It's bad enough I got another 100 or so RoE quests I'm behind on uggg

[geno3302]

Whatever I give up! Mewing Lullaby should still be a BP: Ward

[NynJa]

Are skeletons not "completely resist the spell it wont land stop trying" immune to dark sleep?

Are there any NM species other than sandworm? I'd like to be a worm that hides underground while it's moving so we can sneak up on people but i'm sure that's asking for too much

[geno3302]

I'm not sure, if something resists the BP just says it misses

[dasva]

No. Prior to the immune message update it would never land. But now they just get the regular resist message. However I'm fairly confident it will never land without stymie or immunbreak since I did approximately 1k casts with 99 rdm with 119 swd on level like 10 skeletons. Very limited numbers but stymie only seemed (I say seemed because I wasn't paying close attention to duration at first) to give me half resists while immunbreak sometimes got full duration. Also even more limited numbers but every double immunobreak (4 I think) resulted in landing it next cast.

I can't speak for shiva but not all undead are so severely resistant. Ghosts for example are fairly easy to land. Skeletons immune up until a couple of years ago

[Spira]

im pretty sure it depends on which undead you're talking about. generally undead are highly resistant to any form of dark magic to the point where you cannot land it at all but some are more susceptible than others.

Shiva's sleepga has always been dark based as far as i can remember. Are you sure you didnt mistake avatar aoe -> release deaggro as successful sleep?

Based on BGWiki's dat mining, no. There's eventually Botulus but it doesn't look like it'll be any time soon.

I would only expect Slime, Slug, Leech, Hecteyes, Flan, and the aforementioned Sandworm for this update. Later additions would be Botulus, Acuex and normal Worm. Maybe. Perhaps.

[Priran]

normal Worm

and people thought leveling apkallu sucked

[Tarage]

I thought you were happy being a Wamoura Rocl...

Maybe I'm remembering the BCNM wrong and it was just other types of undead in the sacrarium that I was sleeping, but they were definitely undead.

There's eventually Botulus

that would be fun! I hope they add mobs with non standard forms of attack like Ironclad, Mantids, Harpeia and Gallu

Yes, the data had the following in it: Slime, Clot, Yellow Slime, Boil, Hecteyes, 3 Flan, Slug, 2 Sandworm, Gigaworm, 3 Leech, 2 Acuex

So thats what we'll see to play with. Aquans matched the dats perfectly.

First inclusion of Adoulin mobs if so. Maybe they'll start releasing the others after these.

[Rocl]

Considering the icon in the data mine on BG wiki shows Blue Magic icon, I'm doubtful Acuex will make it this patch.

We're missing Pteraketos and Craklaw from BG wiki's Aquan dat mining too. (same Zahak icon)

obligatory i don't remember blue bees until Adoulin; I don't think they were even in Meebles like the other weird coloured mobs who made an appearance in Monstrosity

[dasva]

I think he meant species not subspecies. Like pretty sure Lapinion is adoulin only. And I think basket crab only existed as Courier carrie before but no mage ones.

[Rocl]

Fairly sure lapinion rabbits were in some meebles malarkey

Also there's a basket crab NM in abyssea misareaux

That said i'm very doubtful acuex will be in march

[dasva]

Forgot about that silly mis thing since no one pops it lol. Can't be certain about meebles since I never did it but searching thru the pages all I find is the brown bunnies. Not even teh regular white ones
